Anybody want to share some of their experiences with them? Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:09:07 +0000 What about review sites run by educators?

Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:11:57 +0000 @DavidBFox Do you think web app review sites still have the influence they did a couple years ago? (I hope so!) #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:12:36 +0000 @brooks_jones Thank you, glad to be part of the conversation. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:12:37 +0000 @KarenNemethEdM Yikes times two! Why, Karen? #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:13:11 +0000 We talked a lot about the need for more curation at the workshop I did for librarians ... and trustworthy review sources. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:13:42 +0000 @roxiemunro No idea. The bigger ones, definitely. We always figured that even the small ones were added exposure. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:13:56 +0000 @TeachersApps Great to hear from you! #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:14:05 +0000 @roxiemunro From perspective of most early childhood ed teachers, reviews -even curation sites can be more trouble than help #Storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:14:22 +0000 Another educator run review site is @iear. I've been involved in that community since it started. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:14:41 +0000 @KarenNemethEdM Can you elaborate? #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:14:59 +0000 @roxiemunro The big question parents DON'T ask but tchers MUST ask: How will this app fit MY curriculum #Storyappchat #ecetechchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:15:08 +0000 @KarenNemethEdM Why is that? That curation sites don't help? #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:15:32 +0000 @KarenNemethEdM #storyappchat In other words, parents are happy if app teaches 'math' or 'literacy' but tchrs have to show match with curric Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:15:48 +0000 @brueckj23 Hi and welcome to #storyappchat tonite! Glad you could make it :) Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:16:15 +0000 is there sense among the group which review sites, carry the most weight in influencing parents to purchase your app. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:16:27 +0000 Developing concise, accurate and appropriate review guidelines is a challenge when managing multiple reviewers for a site. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:16:34 +0000 #storyappchat somebody could really do well with site that curates w/ alignments to state standards or preK curricula #ecetechChat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:16:40 +0000

@KarenNemethEdM Wouldn't any info re the app be helpful? Or is it that the reviewers aren't discriminating. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:16:55 +0000 #storyappchat And teachers often say in my workshops they just don't have time to read all these reviews - and limited budget to try apps Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:17:22 +0000 @roxiemunro #storyappchat That's the problem - "any info" OK for parents, not enough for teachers who must account for specific skills Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:18:38 +0000 RT @brueckj23: Another educator run review site is @iear. Ive been involved in that community since it started. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:19:22 +0000 @KarenNemethEdM So what would be most helpful? App listings organized by CCSS? Free downloadable lesson plans? #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:19:27 +0000 @KarenNemethEdM But w/print bks there are also many reviews. And for one print bk cost you can buy 5-8 apps. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:19:31 +0000 #storyappchat the state standards and Head Start standards are different from each other - would be great to line up with standards Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:19:49 +0000 RT @KarenNemethEdM: @roxiemunro The big question parents DONT ask but tchers MUST ask: How will this app fit MY curriculum #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:19:55 +0000 @roxiemunro I know you are talking logic, but teachers are a.) uncomfortable w/ tech and b.) overworked - feel more stressed #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:20:50 +0000 RT @KarenNemethEdM: #storyappchat somebody could really do well with site that curates w/ alignments to state standards or preK curricula #ecetechChat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:21:09 +0000 @Julia_Brannon So do app devs need to list all the curriculum that their apps MAY fit? #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:21:35 +0000 @roxiemunro I think it's easier w/ ebooks because tchrs are familiar, can use them like any storybook ##storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:21:47 +0000 @KarenNemethEdM I heard same from librarians in our workshop last month about book apps. I think it's even tougher for edapps. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:21:49 +0000 RT @brueckj23: Another educator run review site is @iear. I've been involved in that community since it started. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:22:12 +0000 @roxiemunro I think if app devs partnered with educators to add some info to description- how it fits certain curr #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:23:13 +0000 @KarenNemethEdM Right. Ebooks are mostly the same as the print books. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:23:15 +0000 Many app developers are so busy developing that they don't realize that they need to align to #CommonCore #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:23:34 +0000 RT @Julia_Brannon: Many app developers are so busy developing that they don't realize that they need to align to #CommonCore #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:23:45 +0000 @KarenNemethEdM Im tired of teacher Yeah, buts We all need more time. Teachers need to B 1s finding how app fits, not devs #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:24:47 +0000 #storyappchat Also, if description says 'this app teaches X skill as required for Standard A in these states' make it easier to buy/fund Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:25:31 +0000 Just attended a PW (Publishers Weekly) talk re CCSS on Wed - the print/trade bk publishers don't know how to deal w/CC! #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:25:37 +0000 @brueckj23 Uh oh - Yeah, but... those tchrs are not only your customers, they influence parent buyers too, right? #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:26:13 +0000 @roxiemunro Good opportunity for app devs to take the lead then! #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:26:13 +0000 RT @brooks_jones: @roxiemunro Good opportunity for app devs to take the lead then! #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:26:27 +0000 @brueckj23 The apps that align to #commoncore & include a curriculum & do it well are the ones that will get dwnloads #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:26:33 +0000 @KarenNemethEdM @roxiemunro I agree ... the book apps may be easier to deal with and there are fewer of them overall. #storyappchat (cont) Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:26:51 +0000 @KarenNemethEdM Yes. In a perfect world. But it is a complex job. Pubs need staff dedicated/assigned to it! #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:26:59 +0000 #storyappchat a little research and updated descriptions could go a LLLOOOOONNG way on this idea Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:27:12 +0000 RT @roxiemunro: @KarenNemethEdM Yes. In a perfect world. But it is a complex job. Pubs need staff dedicated/assigned to it! #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:27:21 +0000 Not convinced other edus can adequately determine how any app fit in curriculum for another T. All kids have different needs. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:27:58 +0000 @roxiemunro @KarenNemethEdM (cont) App Store Metrics http://t.co/agFGlyk8FC education nearly 2x size of books #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:28:17 +0000 @roxiemunro #storyappchat Yes - and many print publishers are doing exactly that - so you don't want to fall behind http://t.co/cO9DbGeqNM Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:28:46 +0000

@brueckj23 Agreed. That's what makes a teacher's ability to search for and review even more important. Willingness to work. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:29:38 +0000 @brueckj23 Question is, is it our job to determine this re each state/age group etc. Maybe we DO need a middleman/curator. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:29:42 +0000 @brueckj23 And that's exactly what I say in workshops! What works for one tchr, one kid won't work for another! Is tricky! #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:29:48 +0000 @KarenNemethEdM My guess is Ts uncomfortable w/ tech and making excuses about time are actually not buying or recommending. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:30:01 +0000 @roxiemunro but maybe you can meet halfway - narrow the choices for tchrs, and expect them to make better choices #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:30:24 +0000 @KarenNemethEdM Karen, would do you think this is problem mostly for US educators using common core? #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:30:31 +0000 Great article today @NYTimes RE textbooks & curricula not ready for #CCSS tests http://t.co/zMigfdKeUP #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:30:46 +0000 my worry with aligning with state curriculum etc. is that most developers are publishing for a global audience #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:31:12 +0000 @iPad_storytime Oh, no - Common Core doesn't even apply to preK, yet they are such growing part of app market ! #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:31:20 +0000 @KarenNemethEdM This also sounds like something Apple could help with by asking specific questions upon app submission #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:31:27 +0000 @KarenNemethEdM From my take on the PW meeting last week, publishers (trade) are confused. They may be waiting it out a bit. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:31:48 +0000 @tankandbear Agree - you can dev an app for global audience, then show how it can be used for specific state/standard/curr #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:32:00 +0000 @DavidBFox Hmmmm. Apple. I hadn't thought of that! #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:32:32 +0000 Also, trade publishers are soooo slow. App devs do get things to the market A LOT faster! #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:32:42 +0000 RT @Julia_Brannon: Great article @NYTimes RE textbooks & curricula not ready for #CCSS tests http://t.co/WiOUw2z2XW #storyappchat #ecetech Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:33:05 +0000 @DavidBFox You're brilliant. Definitely kick it up the ladder a bit here ... #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:33:10 +0000 @DavidBFox We might be waiting a long time if we wait for Apple to do anything on this, IMHO #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:33:21 +0000 @KarenNemethEdM Last time I submitted an iBook, there were new sections to fill out re age, grade level (in US, UK, Australia) #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:33:26 +0000 RT @roxiemunro: Also, trade publishers are soooo slow. App devs do get things to the market A LOT faster! #storyappchat <--advantage Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:33:30 +0000 @DavidBFox I don't think Apple cares about CCSS. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:33:35 +0000 RT @brooks_jones: @DavidBFox We might be waiting a long time if we wait for Apple to do anything on this, IMHO #storyappchat <-- yep Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:33:55 +0000 RT @brooks_jones: @DavidBFox We might be waiting a long time if we wait for Apple to do anything on this, IMHO #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:34:26 +0000 If I was going to put time/effort into aligned extras for an app, I'd put it in to #CCSS. Not saying as an educator cont. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:34:36 +0000 @roxiemunro maybe not, unless educators demanded they do more in that area. Slow to move, but if they did, could be big #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:34:40 +0000 I feel that #CCSS is the way we should be going, but from a business perspective, that is where devs will find app dollars. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:35:34 +0000 Sounds like we've identified a big need in the app community: a site that helps teachers find apps to help them meet standards #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:35:59 +0000 I'd really love to see decent trainings for teachers ... http://t.co/eDpQIa0OV5 #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:36:58 +0000 Actually, the speed of publishing apps DOES give us an advantage over traditional print publishing. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:37:04 +0000 We teachers are still in the dark about Common Core, lots of controversy #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:37:40 +0000 @brueckj23 Right. Educational sales could be huge. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:37:47 +0000 RT @Julia_Brannon: Great article today @NYTimes RE textbooks & curricula not ready for #CCSS tests http://t.co/zMigfdKeUP #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:38:36 +0000 @TeachersApps Yes, but I think we can all agree that #CCSS is here to stay, at least for now. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:38:40 +0000 @brooks_jones @teachersapps YES! A dedicated site where teachers curate apps for CCSS. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:39:01 +0000
